We arrived today at about 1pm with our two dogs. We were greeted and pointed to the dog area. The dog friendly area is very small which wasn’t a problem as there was a table free. We were ordered at the bar and then the knocking and banging from building work started and was on and off during our time there. It would have been nice if someone had informed us that this was going on before we ordered and got settled for what was to be a leisurely lunch. The meals came after a reasonable wait, husbands steak pie huge and tasty, however I ordered the fishcake. It was on a bed of wilted rocket that was supposed to be the seasonal salad, the fishcake had all broken up it had been fried so much and the poached egg was virtually hard. I asked the waitress if that was it and she said she had checked with the chef and it was, but she didn’t want to serve it. I obviously sent it back and made a different order which was pleasant but we both ended up eating lunch at different times. No one came over to check on the second meal or to apologise. The pub was very quiet and there were numerous staff dotting about. Very poor customer service. Surely it would have been better to gain a happy customer on site rather than a poor review on Facebook. We left very disappointed. The only really exceptional thing was the dogs 4oz rump steak.

Quietly hidden away. Lovely atmosphere. And the best chicken tenders I've ever had at a pub. They do it properly. Thanks to Paul, steph Sharon and Tonya, steve and Dave who were amazing

We stopped here Friday-Monday as it was ideally located for our weekend of running and race recce for an up coming race (Hardmoors Roseberry Marathon) - there's a great view of the hill from the carpark. The hotel itself looks ok but our room could of done with a lick of paint and a few more electric sockets for charging your phones and other electrical appliances we all travel with nowadays. There is a very decent 40" tv which you can cast to from your phone easily which means we got to watch the footy over the weekend which is a big plus in my view, as we love to relax after a run on the moors. We did have several Dinners here which were all tasty although our Sunday lunch was lukewarm which was slightly disappointing. Breakfast was very good and you got plenty especially with the full English 😋. The dining area had a lovely roaring fire on the Friday when we arrived and had our 1st meal but was off the rest of the weekend, so we felt a chill every time we visited for food, but we just made sure we had a jumper on - so not a big problem. Staff were all very helpful and friendly - the stand out for this hotel! No problem stopping here again

We came to The Cross Keys while on a family trip to Guisborough. The chefs, Ste and Mark, made an amazing steak and ale pie. The dessert was delicious and the service was fantastic! Ellie and Tonya took great care of us through out the whole night. We would definitely eat here again.

Came to the crosskeys for a family meal. We were sat by the fire up the top. Our drinks order was taken promptly our food order was taken. Some of us had starters. Came out with in about 10 minutes. Our mains came out about 20 minutes after the starters. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the cod and chips, delicious by the way. My partner had the mixed grill and stake was cooked perfectly. We were asked if we would like desserts but we were to full. Our young waitress was very attentive and nothing was to much trouble. We will definitely book another family meal to the crosskeys.

Today 29th October myself and my wife visited the restaurant where my wife had creamy mushroom followed by the signature burger. I had belly pork bites followed by the mixed grill. The food was excellent, hot and very tasty. I have always had my steaks well done but Gemma (chef) cooked it medium rare and wow what a fantastic taste it was. I'm smitten now. Gemma you have switched me to medium rare from now on. Gemma you are a credit to the Cross keys & to yourself. Well done also to Leanne for making our visit a wonderful experience.

Whilst holidaying at Runswick Bay we decided on a trip to Butterfly World and spotted The Cross Keys on the way there, so on the way back we decided to pop in for a meal, which I'm glad we did. We were greeted and seated with pleasant ease & banter. After checking the menus, I chose the wild mixed grill consisting of a venison stake, a duck leg, and a wild boar sausage, homemade coleslaw, fried egg, & what I would call potato wedges, but are labelled as chips. The meal was excellent 👍 regards to the chef & kitchen staff. Mum had a lamb shank shepherd's pie, which surprised as it was a complete lamb shank complete with bone topped with mash & cheese. She devoured the whole plate full, which is the best recommendation going, since she growing older her appetite has lessened, so for her to finish means the food was superb 💕 We were looked after by Jimmy, who was brilliant and expertly handled my sister, who's humour is as dry as the Sahara and can seem spiteful & bitter at time. He took her in his stride and helped to make our visit pleasurable & memorable. Jimmy your a star 🌟 The only downside was their location, which is in a great location off a major road, but could be sign posted better as it's slightly hidden away. We originally drove past it, but it was well worth the loop back. Also note the entrance is to the rear of the building, with parking to the rear as well as the side. We did notice a couple of cars drive into the emptier side car park and decide not to stay as the car park was nearly empty. Don't make that mistake. Park and go in. You won't be disappointed.

7pm on a Saturday night the place was empty We had a booked table waited a long time to receive menus and even longer for our drinks order The food took at least half an hour to come and when it did most was over cooked the fish batter looked like the scraps from the bottom of the vat and fish was so dry it was sent back Mushroom pie with four chewy pieces of mushroom in it , with seasonal veg and oven baked chips. well the chips may have been oven baked but that's what you do with mc cains frozen chips! the veg was defiantly frozen veg too broccoli carrots and peas It gets worse as I found a large peice of cling film in my food with "throw out by Tuesday" written on it so 2 of us didn't eat a meal . They removed all our meals from the bill which was a nice gesture but I still won't be eating here again as I have never had a decent meal here in the last 10 years

We stayed for 4 nights at the Cross Keys Hotel. The staff were really friendly & helpful and the hotel itself was lovely but we were disappointed with the room as water stains on the outside walls apparently due to a leak & the bathroom was in bad need of a revamp. The toilet wouldn’t flush properly but the manager Anthony quickly organised the repair. Must say thought Anthony & assistant manager were excellent regarding any problems.

Won't be eating here again. Food very disappointing. Ordered a mixed grill which at £20 you would expect to be half decent. Not so! 1 sausage, 1 large piece of gammon, 1 tiny piece of steak and a piece of chicken breast that could have come from a budgie. Along with chips, half a tomato and a fried egg - definitely not worth the money. When I pointed out the size of the chicken to the waitress I was told 'that's the size they're coming in!'. In that case maybe change supplier?? And also the attitude. I was brought another piece of chicken albeit reluctantly. Hardly surprising the place was empty. With many excellent eateries around you need to up your game Cross Keys or you too will end up a drive through coffee shop.

! DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE ! My 3 year old was caught running around by one of the staff, instead of coming to me THE PARENT and address that he was running about she took it upon herself to YELL at him “NO RUNNING IN THE RESTAURANT ”instead. My child has complex needs aswell so when he came back to the table he was crying and in shock. I do not think that that person who I now know is called STEPHANIE should be shouting at my child or any child for the matter. Completely appalling and I would advise people to NEVER GO HERE IF YOU HAVE YOUNGER CHILDREN !!!!!!! I will not be returning to this restaurant ever again, it’s the 2nd time it’s happened, it’s happened with my child and my friends child at Christmas.

A long time since we'd been in the " keys" it was always a popular pub/restaurant so it was a shock to see it almost empty. The beers were excellent, the menu had been decimated from what they once were which is actually a good thing...far too many, on more than one occasion I ordered something which they didn't have. The meals were tasty and there was a decent amount. However on picking up the tab it became apparent not just this place but a lot of others that the prices have rocketed, which may have been the reason it was empty. I appreciate the cost of living explosion but being in the middle of nowhere the place needs to attract the punters in whether that's via drink or food. Just revisited after receiving an email for a BOGOF deal from the owners. It was excellent, unfortunately they have changed the beer supplier, still nice but not as good. This is exactly what was , I hope the initiative worked for them. Will be going back for sure!!

I booked for Fathers day and the menu looked nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The meal was very disappointing A slice & 1/2 of beef that was chewy, a Yorkshire pudding that was beyond stale, tasteless gravy, 4 pale roast potatoes a wet handful of cabbage and a sliced carrot. A square cold stuffing. It was £24!! No mash!! The meal sadly did not reach the description Description- Sunday roasts All our meat roasts are served with garlic & rosemary duck fat roast potatoes, herb-roasted carrots, seasonal greens, a Yorkshire pudding, sausage meat stuffing and gravy The trifle was not very nice, custard was hard and the cream was weird. Jelly bottom that was it. I’m don’t normally complain but £56 for 2 dinners, dessert and 2 lagers was too expensive for the meal I received I paid that in Leeds last week and the Sunday dinner was outstanding!! I didn’t say anything to the staff as my Dad was with me on his Fathers Day. I won’t be booking in for a Sunday dinner anytime soon

Didn't stay here but had a Sunday dinner with my partner. I had the beef sirloin roast. It was very disappointing, not even 2 full slices of beef, 1 Yorkshire pudding, a cube of stuffing, small bit of veg and 4 frozen roast potatoes. When paying £16 for a Sunday roast, you would expect it all to be fresh. Theres so many places that do a better Sunday roast cheaper than here. Don't waste your money here, go elsewhere. Definitely won't be back and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

My husband and I stayed at The Cross Keys for one night using a virgin experience voucher. After reading some of the past reviews we were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Yes there are some repair/maintenance works needed in the rooms but they were clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed the stay. The meal in the pub in the evening was spot on, really good food and great service. We had a decent night’s sleep and it was very quiet. We felt this hotel was good value and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Today we were celebrating our granddaughter’s birthday. The food that was brought out was cold and overdone, this was immediately sent back & a couple of minutes later a hot version came which consisted of overcooked broccoli, overcooked carrots & something that was supposed to be roast potatoes which had no potato inside and looked as though they had been deep fried m. I can only describe this meal as possibly one of the worst I have ever tasted, which I actually left most of it, not one of the staff came and asked if everything was ok ( a party of 14 ) When paying the bill I was asked if I would like to leave a tip “ no I wouldn’t “ the service was shocking & it wasn’t as if they were busy. Certainly one to avoid in the future

Very reluctant to leave this bad review as I always feel awful however, its only fare that people get a true reflection of the rooms before they hand over their hard earned money. We have been to the Cross Keys for food before, food was OK 7/10 and the interior of the pub itself is beautiful. If you're wanting somewhere to call for a bite to eat and a drink whilst out walking passing etc then I would recommend. We booked a room as we were going to go for a hike the following morning, we payed £100 for one night without breakfast. Upon arrival we asked for help with the WiFi to be told by reception lady " we dont deal with technical stuff" As soon as I walked into the room I hated it! There was condensation drips all down the paintwork, mould on the ceiling in the room and even worse in the bathroom, bath dirty with mold on the taps and plug, bathroom cupboard dropping to bits, bedding dirty and the whole room and en suite needs a thorough deep clean. The cleaners definitely need to up their game. We left the room and asked at reception for a refund, it was a different woman at reception this time and she was lovely, couldn't have apologised more. She talked us through the refund process as we booked on booking. I do feel for the staff as its the chain who should be investing more and reducing prices until they do! £100 is a joke to ask for those rooms.

In need of updating. Plaster and paint was coming off the wall, the bathroom cupboards were a peeling mess, and the bath had lots of black mould around it. Staff all seemed like they just didn't wanna be there, and we were an inconvenience. Won't be back in a hurry.

Called in for Sunday dinner we had 3 different meals all were bad , roast potatoes had obviously been left out they were hard with no potatoe in them , broccoli soggy we bought cauliflower cheese which had no cheese . Vegetarian meal was awful we couldn’t complain as no one came back to the table to ask - we left and paid it was expensive and we’d never go back shame it used to be good

The hotel and staff were lovely. Room had been fairly recently redecorated but the bathroom was scruffy, a chip out of the enamel on the bath and it was very old and narrow. Mould on the ceiling and grouting. This is the only thing. Tea and coffee facilities were great and of good quality, they have a little milk churn which you can get filed with fresh milk at the reception which is a nice touch. We only had breakfast here which was cooked to order and great value considering we only paid £11 extra each for 2 nights. There was also a continental offering in addition. Our room was at the back of the hotel and very quiet at night. There is a very busy road at the front and if you like a lie in you may not get one if you have a room on the front. Beds very comfortable. Beautiful view of Roseberry Topping from the front and the Easton hills at the back. If you went in the Sumner there is a lovely area at the back with fairy lights which would be nice to sit al fresco.

I couldn’t rate the rooms as I never stayed over but the food here was lovely, I got the signature burger and my partner got the steak and ale pie. I didn’t expect them to be so big. They were such a high quality as well, I would recommend for anyone who is looking for a place to have a date night

Stayed 2 nights for short break. Bedroom a little tired, especially bathroom. Nowhere to hang anything. Cleanliness: Bedding very good. Chair in bedroom needs a good clean as full of dust as was the join between the bed base. Carpet needs cleaning. Breakfast: Full English average. Sausage had never seen Cumberland! I had an evening meal that was supposed to be on on a bed of roast potatoes! These were new potatoes that were not roasted. I couldn't get my knife to cut the broccoli as is wasn't cooked, never mind Al dente. Having finished complaining, our stay was OK and staff pleasant. Wouldn't stop again

Great food, good service, really nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.. Dined here several times and always had a really nice evening. This is fast becoming the weekly eatery for the family get together

Used to really enjoy a Sunday roast here however it seems to have gone downhill lately. Grandad had to send his rib of beef back as it was just full of fat whereas mine was fine; waitress returned with another full of connecting tissue and gristle. Surely the kitchen should check what they are sending out. Vegetable portion sizes seem to have reduced a lot also. Had four pieces of carrot and a couple of pieces of parsnip amongst a sea of garden peas. Appreciate the two dinners not being charged for but we won't be returning unfortunately as there are superior Sunday roasts locally.

This is an old established pub serving food. Busy on a Sunday and needed to book a table. Food was average, although plenty of it, although extra gravy was (I think) £1.50 for a small jug. Slightly let down by poor staff, with the exception of the lady with the plaster cast on her wrist. Generally too young and inexperienced. One didn't know the difference between a lager and an ale. And another was surly when asked why she had topped up a G & T full to the top of the glass with tonic, without first asking how much we required

We stopped here with the dogs for lunch during a long walk. The new landlord of only a few weeks has already created a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Full marks for good value lunch (home made soup was delicious) , friendly staff and spotless “Ladies”!

I ordered a pannie and a tea. The tea came after about 5 minutes but then we we waiting a further 20 minutes for the food. I was worried as I had my car in a car park and was about to run out of time. It was clear that the staff had forgotten about the order and only started to cook when I chanced up the order. Very disappointed.
